We’re all familiar with cartoons but have you ever wondered what it takes to become a cartoonist? Stephanie Halligan knows! She has experienced a unique journey from child artist to non-profit worker to financial blogger to accomplished cartoonist.
Stephanie grew up drawing and learned how to draw cartoon characters by copying characters she saw on TV. After high school, she feared that art would not be a financially intelligent decision, and so she studied International Relations and worked in the non-profit sector.

Thanks, I really enjoyed the interview with Stephanie. Her story of returning to a lost passion resonated with me a lot. I’m just coming back to writing after a career break to have a family.
